EEXCESS Prototype Tools

The EEXCESS technologies serve as recommendation tools for your online activities. You, as a user, get personally tailored recommendations from cultural and scientific databases without having to explicitly search for this content. EEXCESS tools integrate into your ongoing working process. You don´t have to leave the website you are currently reading or the content management system you are currently editing.

The browser extension prototype is available for free at the Chrome Webstore.
